Symoné credits her willingness to relocate with playing a significant role in her career advancement. She has worked all over the U.S. and overseas, including in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Travel relocation gave her access to more opportunities that many others would turn down.

“Earning my salary in tech has afforded me the ability to take care of my family,” Symoné said. “Also, to be able to travel around the world and not really worry too much about the cost of everything in life. And just to be able to live a great life and have a lot of freedom.”

“When it comes to being in tech, definitely remember and understand that you belong in tech and there’s so many other people here,” she added. “And look for your community that you can use to bounce ideas off of and get to where you want to be at in your tech career.”
